The 1990s and early 2000s can be aptly described as Australia’s golden period in 50-50 World Cup history.

This remarkable hat-trick of titles firmly established Australia as the team to beat in the world of One Day International (ODI) cricket.

The early years saw England as strong contenders, reaching the finals in 1979 and 1992 but falling short on both occasions. However, the 1990s and the early 2000s were marked by inconsistent performances and a struggle to advance deep into the tournament.
A significant turning point occurred in 2019 when England, hosting the World Cup, clinched their maiden victory in a thrilling final against New Zealand. This triumph was a testament to England’s resurgence in the ODI format, with their aggressive brand of cricket and depth in batting and bowling.
